About Biathlon

Biathlon is a demanding sport that combines cross-country skiing and shooting. It is a sport that originated in the Scandinavian countries as part of a military exercise, as infantry patrols were often conducted on skis. There are two positions from which biathletes shoot from: prone and standing. The prone position, which involves lying down, is steadier than the standing position. As a result, the prone target is much smaller. Both positions require that five metal targets (that turn from black to white when hit) be hit from a distance of 50 metres with only five bullets. For each miss, there is a penalty of either: a 150-metre penalty loop or one-minute added to the final time, depending on the type of competition.
